In “The Keyhole,” a man checks into a hotel, and the lady behind the desk tells him not to disturb the door without a number on it. Curiosity takes over, however, and the man looks through the door’s keyhole. He sees a pale woman leaning against a wall. The man almost knocked on the door but didn’t. The next day, the man looked through the keyhole again but only saw red. When he told the lady behind the counter about it, she said a man murdered his wife in the room and now haunts it.

“Where Bad Kids Go,” tells the story of a photojournalist who lived in Lebanon as a boy and watched sinister thirty-minute long television kids shows.

A voice would say, “That’s where bad kids go.” When the man grew up, he decided to investigate the show and where the studio was located. When he found it, he entered a room with a microphone hanging from ceiling, and blood, feces, and bones were scattered all over the floor.
